Mr. Rau, a human rights activist told Daily Guide he  wanted to enter the German parliament to fight for all Africans,  especially Ghanaians in that country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to change most of  the German laws which always go against foreigners especially the  Africans he indicated and explained that \u201caccording to the German  Foreign Birth Law (paragraph 4, section 2) if a fresh baby is born and  found outside any city in Germany without the identity of the family,  that child automatically becomes a German citizen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Explaining  further, Mr. Rau referred to paragraph 4, section 3 of Article 1 of the  German Constitution and said there were inconsistencies in the law which  ought to be amended.<\/p>\n<p>For example, he averred that \u201cany foreigner  who gives birth in Germany has to live there eight years continually  with resident permit before their children can become German citizens  and described such a law as very bad. \u201cI want to fight for the African  in general to enjoy their rights as in the USA, United Kingdom or in  France. Any child born in Germany has to get citizenship without any  discrimination,\u201d he underscored.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Rau said a foreigner like  him has to denounce his Ghanaian citizenship before applying for a  German passport, but that is not so with the native Germans. The human  rights activist again explained that German laws make it imperative for  Germans to hold a double passport.<\/p>\n<p>He complained that \u201cAs a  foreigner with a foreign passport, you are not permitted to go outside  Germany for more then six months.\u201d Mr. Rau also talked about work  permits and other injustices against foreigners which he hoped to fight  and change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a human rights activist I have fought a lot with  success but I think I can do better for my people if the people of  Hamburg elect me to become a Member of Parliament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Ghanaian born German, Anthony Rau has expressed his burning desire to enter the German parliament in the next few days.
